HANDS OFF THE BRONZE SOLDIER!

Welcome!

Hello my name is Alexander (Sasha) and I am from Russia, Stanitsa Varenikovskaya, Krasnodar Kray (also known as Kuban). I am a Cossack in full active service of the 14th eskadron of the Great Kuban Host in rank of Yesaul (Major). Like any true Cossack, I love my country and take no shame in being a Russian patriot, and have participated in restoring its territorial integrity in 1999-2000 Second Chechen campaign, avenging thousands of ethnic Russian victims of the genocide unleashed on them in 1990-1994.

Personal research into my roots indicate that originally my main predecessor family originated from around Lida in modern Belarus. They settled there during the northern migration of the Slavs prior to the founding of Ancient Ruthenian state. During the early 16th century, they like thousands others, fled from Polish persecution to Zaprozhia. There they became Cossacks, and participated in the famous Pereyaslavl Rada, restoring unity of the Russian people.

Up until the late 18th century they guarded Russia's south-western approach, and afterwards migrated to the Kuban, stanitsa Varenikovskaya, where they have lived since. Although I will be honest these are only the dominant roots that I have inherited, in Cossack traditions it is normally only the father's line that contributes to heritage, and it often customary to only have the male descendents inherit everything whilst female descendents would be married off to other Cossacks and move in with them. As a result the solidarity amongst us Cossacks to each other is very high since it is very likely that even from a distant stanitsa on the host you will be able to find your own relatives.

However, in the 19th century, fighting for our Great Empire's intrests in the Balkans and Caucasus, many war brides were brought back by Cossacks. I know certainly that my grandfather is 1/8 Serbian, and noting above about female heritage, there is probably Bulgarian, Greek and Circassian blood in me as well. Just about every generation in our family fought in every single war that Russia got herself muddled in (or was in turn invaded). Be it Balkans, Caucasus, Central Asia, both World wars, Afganistan as a result our house holds over a hundred medals and awards some dating back to the 17th century.

To do

Disclaimer

Although the historical role of Joseph Stalin is very interesting and open to many debates, I am well aware that you might be very offended by it. I apologise if this makes you so, as that is not my intention and believe me I am not a Stalinist and know very well what that name means for some. Please note that the image is there not to support my political opinion, but instead to voice my protest of wikipedia allowing this 1 to exist. That image voices support of a terrorist regime from which thousands of Chechens and Russians died. I know that millions of people, including Russians, died as a result of events that are now called Stalinism. Yet I can only see that unless some rationale is given to what is free speech and what is provoctive aggravation, there will always be conflict. As long as such images exist, Stalin shall remain.
